Indian Corn in Maine.

had an opportunity few days since
of witnessi ing what faith courage, persever-
ance and executive ability will do for farm
in Maine. John f. Hamilton of Garland
in the north part of Penobscot County,
has demonstrated the present season that
it would be an easy thing for the farmers
OF Maine to raise all the corn used in the
State and increase the stock feed in a
corresponding ratio.
| He has forty acres of sweet corn,
| twenty five acres upon old fields and
pastures. with no other fertilizers than
phosphates, whichhe has applied at the rate
Of 400 or 1900 pounds per acre. The other
fifteen acres had light dressing of stable
manure, with about 400 pounds of phos-
phate in the hills. 1t is hard to detect
that any one acre is better than any other
acre. 1t appears to be all alike, heavily
cared and will very soon be in good con-
dition to can.
Mr.. Hamilton has fitted up small can
ming establishment at the village, land con.
tracted with farmers around him for the
product of about sixty acres of sweet
corn. He will can therefore what grows
on 100 acres. He is also building a slo,
to preserve his corn fodder, by double
boarding about forty feet of the bay OF
his mammoth barn. and as he has dug
down some three or four feet below the
sills its dimensions will be about 40x1S,
and twenty five feet deep. He proposes
to run the fodder into the silo through the
window in the roof the barn above the
plate. He has never raised sweet corn
before this season, and his operations
show what may be done by the average
farmer with ordinary gumption anc
brains. Sweet corn is looking well as a
whole in this section. | am also inclined
to the opinion that apples will count foul

SECRETARY STAN TON.
lew He Scrutinized and Assorted th g
Callers At the War Department..

How He Scrutinized and Assorted th Q
Callers 1t the War Department..
In a recent number of the Century is a
portrait Of Secretary Stanton, accom-
panied by some "reminiscences, from which
we quote as follows: "Although Mr..
Stanton was by nature an accessible man,
it was simply impossible for him to give
private audience to 1.-THE of the persons
who daily inquired for him Even Sena-
tors and Representatives in. Congress
often had difficulty in seeing him at the
times and in the manner they desired, and
frequently accepted 'pot-luck' with the
crowd in the public reception-room. Colonel
Hardie, a handsome Scotch-looking
officer, took charge Of this room early in
the morning and, in the name and by au-
thority of the secretary, dispatched the
business of such as neither needed nor
insisted upon the personal action Of the
secretary. He also sent in the names of
such callers as he thought the secretary
would privately receive, and, from time
to time went in himself to take the Sec
retary's commands upon some case of
special difficulty or Importance. AS nearly
as possible at eleven o'clock, the secre-
tary, who had an almost religious regard
tor this daily observance, came into the
room and took station at the little, high
desk near the bottom, Colonel Hardie Or
Major Pelouze being in attendance to as
sist him. He waved everybody back who
approached him, until he had completed a
deliberate scrutiny of the company and
had received from the officer in attendance
statement, in low voice, of the excep-
tionally urgent or meritorious cases, Then,
one after another, he indicated those
whom he wished to draw near, beginning
with the soldiers, and, after them, call
ing up the plainly dressed women, who
looked as if they might be soldiers kin.
folk. If he happened to notice that SOL
der had crutches or was weak from i'll
ness, he would leave the desk and go to
him where he was seated. Officers bear
ing visible tokens of wounds or disability
were also preferred suitors, but with 9TH
err gentlemen of the shouder-strap he was
usually curt Civilians he treated accord
ingly as his humor was affected by their
manner, but there was always a general
observance of the underlying principle
that this public reception was for those
who had no other means of access to him.
1t was here that Mr.. Stanton might
usually be seen at his best.
If case of unusual gal
lantry, merit or suffering were stated, he
would comment upon 1t aloud to the CON-
pany, ending with a moral, inviting to
patriotism. virtue or fortitude On the
other hand, if he found woman suppliant
embarrassed by the publicity of state
ment and action, he would draw her be-
yond the desk to the window recess and
hear her there, or send her to his room to
be heard more leisurely or privately
Some of US used to think, while watching
the secretary at these receptions, that
great power had been lost to the pulpit
when he became a lawyer; for he was an
admirable preacher and far from averse
to sermonizing."
